City Councilman Bill de Blasio was caught the other day cheating the city out of a quarter. The public-advocate candidate arrived in Brooklyn for a radio interview with Jonathan Hicks and parked his SUV at a meter in front of Medgar Evers College. No quarters were put in the meter, said our source, who had photos as evidence. “He did, however . . . display his official City Council government parkingpermit, which by law can be used only while on government business and is illegal to use while on the campaign trail.” De Blasio’s press secretary, Gwen Rocco, told Page Six, “This was an oversight, and we are doing our best to make sure it doesn’t happen again.” De Blasio’s opponent, Mark Green, had a similar issue. In 1994, a car used by the Of fice of the Public Advocate, Green’s job at the time, got 13 parking tickets outside City Hall. His office claimed the his toric right for a space there even though he worked across the street.
